Strain flexor musc/fasc/tend l mid finger at forarm lv, sqla

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect injury involving a strain to the flexor muscles, fascia, and tendons of the left middle finger, specifically located at the forearm level. This indicates a prior injury that has resulted in ongoing symptoms or complications.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent pain, weakness, or limited range of motion in the left middle finger, where the original injury (a strain of the flexor structures at the forearm level) has resolved but left residual effects. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing long-term consequences of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury is a "sequela" or "late effect" of a previous strain.
• Verify the specific finger (middle) and side (left) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the injury location is at the "forearm level" to differentiate from strains closer to the hand.
